Mickey Thomas - fond memories of standing next to two Welsh Hammers at Stamford Bridge,while they shouted stuff at him.
Didn't understand a word, but it was crystal clear that the words were insults.

Re: Euro qualifiers

Give me back the good old days when 2 qualified from a group or maybe a few of the 2nd placed teams played off for the last spots.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2020_qualifying
Trying to figure out these play-offs is nigh on impossible. Wales England Ireland Northern Ireland and Scotland can all still be at the Euro 2020, even if ireland and wales lose against denmark and Hungary. FACT
Belarus with this amazing record in Group C
4 Belarus (A) 8 1 1 6 4 16 −12 4
Have qualified for the play offs yet Slovenia clear 3rd in Group G are eliminated while North Macedonia and Israel who finished below them have advanced to the play offs WTF?

Belarus qualified for the playoffs because they won their crappy nations league group i believe? same as Scotland.
It is a ridiculously complicated process of picking who gets into the playoffs
Based on the Nations League rankings, the 16 selected teams will be chosen as follows, starting with League D and working up to League A:[6]
All available group winners will be selected.
If a group winner has already qualified through the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying group stage, they will be replaced by the next best-ranked team from the same league which has not also already qualified.
If fewer than four teams from a given league have failed to qualify, then the remaining spaces for that league will be allocated by the overall ranking:
If the league has a group winner selected for the play-offs, then the next best team in the overall ranking from a lower league will be selected.
If the league has no group winner available, then the best team in the overall ranking will be selected.
Path formation
The 16 selected teams will then be allocated to paths of 4 teams. A draw will take place to allocate teams to the different paths, subject to the following conditions:[1]
Group winners cannot form a path with a team from a higher league.
If four or more teams from a league enter the play-offs, a path with four teams from the league in question must be formed.
Additional conditions may be applied, subject to approval, including seeding principles and the possibility of final tournament hosts having to be drawn into different paths.
With these conditions, the draw procedure is as follows, starting with League D and working up to League A:[6]
Form a path with four teams from the same league.
If there are more than four teams qualified in a given league, draw which teams will participate in the play-off path of that league.
Remaining teams are drawn into a path of a higher league.
If there are no teams from League A (i.e. they have all qualified directly for UEFA Euro 2020), then this procedure will result in four teams from lower leagues being allocated to the path of League A.[6]
Match pairings and rules
Each play-off path will feature two single-leg semi-finals on 26 March, and one single-leg final on 31 March 2020. Based on the Nations League rankings, the best-ranked team will host the fourth-ranked team, and the second-ranked team will host the third-ranked team. The host of the final will be decided by a draw in November 2019 between the two semi-final pairings.[8]
The play-offs are played in single-leg knockout matches. If scores are level at the end of normal time, 30 minutes of extra time is played, where each team is allowed to make a fourth substitution.[9] If the scores remain tied, a penalty shoot-out is used to determine the winner.[1]
